WORX is a Chinese-based manufacturing company founded back in 2004. In addition to producing quality lawn and garden equipment for the home user, the company also specializes in developing fantastic power tools for both the DIY user and those in a more professional capacity.
One of its top-selling power tool lines is that of the cordless drill/impact driver. And in this review, you can get a closer look at one of the most popular models in the range – the WORX WX1916L.
WORX WX916L 2 Piece Combo Kit
The WX916L is a fantastic 2-piece drill and impact driver combo kit on offer from WORX.
In terms of performance, both the drill and impact driver pack quite a punch, so if you’re looking for a product that’s tough and reliable, this kit is a good match for you. The chuck size of the drill is 3/8”, while the chick size of the impact driver is ¼”, which together areperfect for completing most projects. And it’s fitted with a rubber over mold grip for added comfort.
With a powerful brushless motor behind to power it, this drill is capable of tackling most small to medium home/workshop projects. While it may not be quite powerful enough to take on tougher jobs such as drilling concrete, what it can drill, it drills very well.
As part of the package you get two 1.5 Ah lithium ion batteries in which to use for the drill. Lithium ion batteries are the most popular choice of batter used in power tools today as they are very versatile and super-efficient. The battery found on this drill will stay charged for 18 months if not used. And should these batteries get misplaced at all, then any Worx 20v lithium ion will fit. The charge time for both the drill and impact driver is around 5 hours.
Dimensions 15” x 9.4” x 4.1” and weighs just 4.6lbs means it’s compact and lightweight enough not to cause you too much fatigue while using it. Being lightweight also makes it more versatile in being able to access tight spaces.
If that’s not enough to seal the deal, then you may also want to consider that the kit comes with a handy carry bag included in which to store your drill, impact driver, and batteries. And, if that’s still not enough, then it also comes with a3-year warranty for that added peace of mind.
